New Jersey Practice Materials: A Selective Annotated Bibliography
David Hollander*
Introduction
This annotated bibliography includes both primary and secondary resources commonly used in the practice of law in New Jersey. While certainly not comprehensive, the included resources are intended represent a broad selec- tion of materials covering a wide variety of resource types and practice areas. This bibliography is divided into four main sections: (1) general publications, including primary sources such as case law and legislation along with general secondary resources such as digests and citators; (2) periodicals, including academic and professional publications; (3) Internet resources, listing websites related to New Jersey government, law, legal education and law practice; and (4) practice treatises and materials, listing treatises, looseleafs and other New Jersey practice materials. The appendix provides the addresses, telephone numbers, and websites of all publishers listed in this bibliography. Because every individual New Jersey-related database contained in Westlaw and LexisNexis is not listed in this bibliography, short descriptions of these offerings are provided here.
Westlaw: Westlaw offers a large volume of New Jersey materials, inclu- ding digital versions of many of the West-published primary and secon- dary resources listed in the following bibliography. Available New Jersey- related Westlaw databases include materials such as case law, statutes, legislative history, administrative and executive materials, jury instruc-

tions, court filings, forms, and a wide variety of secondary resources, including the entire New Jersey Practice Series. Not all databases are included in all subscriptions to Westlaw. For a full listing of available New Jersey-related databases consult the online Westlaw Database Directory (http://directory.westlaw.com/). LexisNexis: Extensive New Jersey-related offerings are also available on Lexis, including many of the primary and secondary sources listed in this bibliography. This material includes case law, statutes, administrative law, court filings, jury instructions, and secondary resources. The available secondary resources include both Lexis-published treatises and a selection of treatises and practice guides published by the New Jersey Institute of Continuing Legal Education (NJICLE). For a full listing of Lexis's offerings of New Jersey-related materials consult the Lexis Source Locator (http://w3.nexis.com/sources/).
The New Jersey Institute of Continuing Legal Education (NJICLE) also merits special mention here. NJICLE, a joint venture of the New Jersey State Bar Association, Rutgers University, and Seton Hall University, is organized to facilitate professional educational development for members of the New Jersey Bar. In addition to offering more than three-hundred yearly seminars, NJICLE is one of the major publishers of secondary materials on New Jersey law, many of which are included in this bibliography. A full list of their publications is available on NJICLE's website (www.njicle.com). The annotations in this bibliography provide short descriptions rather than detailed editorial reviews of each resource. Inclusion in or exclusion from this bibliography is not intended to represent the author's opinion on the value of a resource.

format that explains how to conduct research in easy to understand detail. This book is essential for any collection of New Jersey law.
Internet Law Guide, at http://law-library.rutgers.edu/ilg/njlaw.html#NJCONST [Rutgers-Newark Law Library]. This research guide provides links to internet sources of New Jersey law. The guide divides the links into separate types of sources including statutes, court rules, court decisions, regulations, etc.
New Jersey Digital Law Library, at http://njlegallib.rutgers.edu/ [Rutgers- Newark Law Library]. This website provides free digitized legal information. Available collections include digitized versions of administrative law sources, historic New Jersey laws and statutes, executive orders, selected New Jersey law reviews, and other collec- tions of documents.

Pathfinder: Basic New Jersey Legal Materials, at http://law-library.rutgers.edu/ resources/basicnjpf.php [Rutgers-Newark Law Library]. This guide, intended for use at the Rutgers-Newark Law Library, lists the major sources of New Jersey law. The Rutgers-Newark Law Library call number and location are provided for each resource. While that information is not useful to researchers working outside that library, listed are sources useful to researchers anywhere.
Statutory Sources
New Jersey Statutes, at http://www.nj leg.state.nj.us/ [New Jersey Legislature]. This website includes the unannotated full text of currently in-force New Jersey statutes, codified by subject-matter titles. Statutes can be located by browsing through the titles, chapters, and sections, or by full-text searching. The statutes are accessed through the link on the left side of the page. The text is close to current, and a note with each section indicates the extent of the codification, e.g., "Updated Through P.L. [year], ch. [number] and J.R. [number]." More recent chapter laws that are not included in the codification should be consulted and are also available on this website.
NEW JERSEY-7 2008 STATE PRACTICE MATERIALS
New Jersey Statutes Annotated. St. Paul, Minn.: West Pub. Co., 1939-. 102 vols., 3 softbound index vols., and interim pamphlets. Updated annually with pocket parts and supplementary pamphlets. This resource is an annotated and updated unofficial version of the Revised Statutes ofNew Jersey, 1937. It contains the full text of in-force statutes codified by subject-matter titles. Each statute features helpful annotations including relevant governor's statements, historical notes, source and prior laws, library references (including references to West's Digest System, the West Key Number System, New Jersey practice materials, and legal encyclopedias), and notes of court decisions that have applied that statute. Statutes are easy to locate using either the cumulative three-volume index or the index at the back of each indivi- dual volume. Changes to the law post-dating a volume's publication appear in pocket parts and are also published in the New Jersey Session Law Service. New and updated volumes are published periodically. The last volumes in the set contain an annotated text of the New Jersey constitution. A searchable electronic version of this resource is available on Westlaw. A similar product is available on LexisNexis.
New Jersey Statutes, Full Text, Unannotated, at http://www.gannlaw.com [Gann Law Books]. This commercial website provides free online access to several resources, including the New Jersey Statutes.

Subsequent chapter laws should be consulted to update this resource.
Revised Statutes ofNew Jersey, 193 7. Trenton, N.J.: State of New Jersey, 193 8. 5 vols. This resource is the most recent official comprehensive compilation of New Jersey statutes. It is not practical to use this set for legal research because it contains the statutes in force in 1937 which must be updated by consulting the cumulative supplement issued until 1969 and session laws to the current day. Unofficial and electronic versions of New Jersey's statutes listed in this section update the 1937 statutes to the present day. For historical research, prior compila- tions include Revision ofthe Statutes ofNew Jersey (1871), and GeneralStatutes of New Jersey (1895). Full texts of both of these historical compilations are available free on the Rutgers Newark Law Library website (http://njlegallib. rutgers.edu/statutes/).

Session Laws
Laws of New Jersey. Trenton, N.J.: State of New Jersey, 1776-. This resource is the official publication of laws passed by the New Jersey Legislature. Laws are published in chronological order by year. Most years are published in two volumes (especially from the 1960s forward). Each law, called a chapter law, is assigned a chapter number beginning with Chapter I each year. Also included at the end of the year's session laws are the texts of joint resolu- tions and executive orders, and a subject matter index. The title of this resource on the volume spine is Laws of New Jersey but the formal title on the title page varies by year: Acts of the ... General Assembly of the State of New Jersey (1776-1844); Acts of the... Legislature of the State of New Jersey and... Under the New Constitution (1845-1969); and Acts of the ..Annual Session of the... Legislature and... Under the New Constitution (1970-). The full text from 1776-1999 is available in image format free on the Rutgers Camden Law Library website (http://lawlibrary.rutgers.edu/njleg/index.shtml).

Links to the bills and bill history are included with each chapter law.
New Jersey Session Law Service. St. Paul, Minn.: West Pub. Co., 1939-. Published in approximately 10-12 periodic pamphlets per year.

Note that this information is not contained in the official session laws. The newly enacted legislation is published in chronological order.

New Jersey Legislative Histories, at http://www.njstatelib.org/NJLH/ [New Jersey State Library]. The New Jersey State Library compiles legislative histories of every general, permanent law passed by the New Jersey Legislature, with the exception of appropriations acts. Beginning with laws passed in 1998, these legislative histories are available free on the library's website. Each legislative history consists of a "legislative history checklist" which summarizes the action on the bill and lists the legislative history documents that exist. When documents are available electronically, the checklist links directly to them. Possible legislative history documents include the sponsor's statement (which generallyalso includes the text of the bill), committee statements, floor amendment statements, legislative fiscal estimates, reports, hearing transcripts, a veto message, and the governor's press release issued upon signing the bill into law. For laws passed prior to 1998, legislative histories are kept at the State Library in Trenton, N.J.

For the period 1885-1947, this set publishes reported New Jersey cases from the Court of Appeals and Error, the Supreme Court of Judicature, Court of Chancery, and the Prerogative Court, as well as some cases not reported in the official case reports.

The rarely used, formal title of this reporter is Reports of Cases Decided in the Court of Chancery, the Prerogative Court and, on Appeal, in the Court of Errors and Appeals of the State of New Jersey,although this title as well as the publisher and imprint vary over time.

(It should be noted, however, that there were also several courts below, for which the Supreme Court served as an intermediate appellate court). The rarely used, full formal title of this reporter is Reports Of Cases Argued and Determined In the Supreme Court and, at Law in the Court Of ErrorsandAppeals, of the State ofNew Jersey, although this title as well as the publisher and imprint vary slightly over time.
